Yaniv,
I realize that there must be some valid engineering rationale for
making design choices.
My purpose for soliciting information via the polls was to get a
sense of the availability and preference of interfaces and OSs in the
group. We have a diverse group from all over the world. Everyone has
perferences based upon their current PC setup (either positive and
negative) It is not intended to be a design criteria in and of itself.
I know many of us in America will probably not have much difficulty
in supporting any interface or OS as long as it is not too obsolete.

For example I like USB for the simple fact that I have a large number
of peripheral devices already connected to my computer and it
simplifies connection and setup of new devices. When I use old serial
ports it is much more of a pain to switch back and forth between
devices.

Again, I do not intend to use the results of the poll for specific
design requirements other than to get a sense of how flexible the
requirements need to be.

Thanks,
Ken Michel
